Pause Lounge is a posh addition to the Roseville area. It's open late (unheard of in those parts!) and serves very refined cocktails the likes of Shady Lady, Red Lotus, Ella, Grange and other well-known places in Sacramento.

Why Roseville you ask? Well, Bloom Coffee (best coffee in Roseville in my opinion), is the brain-child of two brothers. When the opened Pause in the same area, I was intrigued. Their food is refined but comfortable, the ingredients are top-notch, portion size is just fine as long as you're not a trucker or lumberjack and really it's just tasty!

They are very comfy with their social media so we found out about their no corkage fee Thursdays on the Twitter. Well that works for us! We gathered up about ten of the drunks and most of us started with cocktails. Their menu changes pretty often, but their aviation is one of the best in town for you gin drinkers.

For food, we ordered everything from the beer battered asparagus, grilled cheese and tomato soup, hamburger, mac n' cheese, coffee basted ribs, creamy anchovy dressed salad, calamari - yeah, we got it all. Plus, they were kind enough to put out a lovely meat and cheese spread with some impressive selections.

Everyone really like the food. I would say the stand outs were the coffee ribs and grilled cheese and tomato soup. Freaking delicious.

I know this place isn't up every one's alley, but I love it. I wouldn't hesitate to take out of town guests for cocktails and appetizers, and it's a great place to get a late night snack without having to go some place douchy in Roseville.
